Capacity Building Training on Evidence Based Advocacy and Leadership Skills

Green Girls Platform Capacity-building Stories hopes to turn the wealth of knowledge, experience, and inspiration into learning opportunities for a wider circle of capacity-building actors, and ultimately, into more impactful climate action!

Climate change greatly affects young women and girls in Malawi, despite having incredible policies because there is lack of implementation. Hence climate-related disasters continue to have catastrophic impacts for decades to come without urgent action. Pandemics are one of the impacts predicted to worsen in occurrence and severity due to climate change, such as Covid-19 which has amplified the impacts and compounded inequalities.

In this episode of a Capacity Building Training on Evidence Based Advocacy and Leadership Skills Green Girls Platform with support from Peace-First trained about 30 girls on the 18th December 2021 at Natural Resource College.

With the consequences and effects of climate change that are present; the program emphasized on presence of individual leadership qualities, with organization support (GGP) to take lead in how to use effective evidence based advocacy to influence policy implementation and put pressure on leaders for change to happen like Greta Thunberg did.
